O επιμέλητης της έκθεσης Ηλίας Γεωργιάδης σημειώνει για τις επιλογές του:

adjective

(of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.

(of a person) positive in attitude and full of energy and new ideas.

The show consists of 3 chapters. In the first, we take a look at a fresh initiative that started in Greece very recently, “Vein Collective”, and focuses on sharing intimate-personal stories. In the second we discover a universe of different voices, which all share one thing. They were all born on the same ground; “Common Ground”. In chapter 3; “Inconnu” & “Hidden” we see three different stories of haunting beauty, approached with pure desire, in search for memory, roots and longing.

It is very natural for the viewer to make conscious or unconscious connections with the works you see and the Greek socio-politico and economic scene. My point of view is that maybe as an artist and as a person, someone has to cross some dark corners before reaching the light. Even if an artist’s reaction to this is the creation of an introspective narrative that questions a set of imagery, we see one thing. That there is so much light in it.
